Interesting. Investing in the London Leeches?

Although I am admittedly not as avid a sports fan as many, I must say that investing in anything with a monkier as lethargic as The Leeches hardly sounds like a solid business strategy.

How are you, Mr. Morsus? It has been some time since our last encounter meeting.

Certainly, but if I do decide on following through - a name change with complete reformation shall be in order.

I am well, Ms. Burke, thank you for your concerned inquiry. And you? I trust you are doing just as well?

Prudent, no doubt. I imagine your guiding hand will up the market value of the team within days.

Yes, thank you. Work keeps me occupied, and, though it has its own myriad frustrations, is rewarding enough even for a cynical soul like myself.

Ah, the not-so-subtle flattery, which could have been considered an outright mockery, had I been feeling especially paranoiac tonight. Which is not the case, of course.

Pleased to hear your work is going well. At least, provides for a few laughs here and there?

Looking to expand your entrepreneurial horizons, Montague? Do it. But only if you intend to trade a few of the current players for ones with actual skill.

-P.D.

Would you happen to know a few with the actual skill then? Some of them are not all that bad, but of course, not as good as you and I - when it comes down to the art of dueling, no?

Isn't that the truth.

You do know that I've lived in the equivalent of the underside of a rock the last five years, right? Oh wait, I suppose you don't.... Harry Potter. His celebrity alone would produce an excellent return on your investment.

If only I had a real suggestion for you. Unfortunately I've been rather out of touch lately.

Are you serious then, about buying the Leeches?

Please. That is just as out of question as inviting a Muggle to defend a Wizard's honour. Although, now that you mention it - someone famous would actually be an interesting addition to the club. If I were to buy it, of course.

Sounds like an entertaining prospect. Would you be interested? You aren't a champion, of course, and not all that famous either - but at least you have the skill.

Think.
